Southern Miss football turned to its fans to vote on a new alternate helmet for the Golden Eagles this season. The winning design, “by an overwhelming margin,” according to USM athletics, is an inverted version of the current Southern Miss helmet coloring.

Their colors have been this new yellow gold for about 9/10 years now. They went away from the old gold look and went to black metallic helmets with the yellow gold lettering. This is just an invert of that helmet.
